Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 Zucchini
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
  • ⅓ cup All-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Shred zucchinis and squeeze out excess water using cheesecloth.
  • Take the shredded zucchini in a bowl and add egg, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, chili flakes, and all-purpose flour. Toss and mix everything.
  • Make small size (around 9-10) patties out of the zucchini mixture.
  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350℉ / 180℃. Place the patties in the air fryer basket and brush some oil on top.
  • Air fry the patties for 10 minutes. Flip and then cook for another 5 minutes or until lightly brown.
  • Serve hot and enjoy.

Christina's Notes

  • Squeeze Zucchini Dry: Removing excess moisture is key for crispy fritters that hold together.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Air fry in batches to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  • Uniform Shape: Make sure all fritters are the same size so they cook at the same rate.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: This step ensures the fritters start crisping up immediately.
